In honour of his upcoming appearances in Blackest Night, I bring you a scene from Suicide Squad #49.

Life is rough enough as a street punk but think how much more dangerous it must be in the comic book universes. Not only do you have rival gangs, angsty drug lords, tweakin' homies, and the risk that the mark you've chosen is an out-of-uniform cop, you have the added risk that the mark you've chosen is an out-of-costume super-villain.

Well, the Rogues generally don't have to expel effort to take down street punks. The superhero community might consider them as jokes, but they're all formidable fighters. Didn't Cold ice a guy who attempted to stick-up the corner store where Cold was buying batteries?

Exactly! And it's how little effort they have to expend that makes them so damned scary. I really don't see why they're still considered to be jokes, because in most instances where they've fought someone other than Flash, they've won pretty easily.

Indeed he did! No fanfare about it either, he just rolled his eyes, turned around and shot the guy. That's the way to do it! Save the fanfare for later, when you drop the punk off at the copshop with a little note signed with "your friendly @%#! neighborhood Captain Cold" and decorated with sparkles! ...... .... uh, yeah...
